Background  This study is to describe the detailed design and surgical techniques of three-dimensional (3D)-printed custom-made endoprosthesis for hemipelvic tumorous bone defect.    Methods  According to the pelvic tumor resection classification by Enneking and Dunham, the hemipelvis is divided into three zones including the ilium (P1), acetabulum (P2), and pubis and ischium (P3). Thirteen patients were included in this study. Of these, P1 and P2 were involved in three cases, while P1, P2, and P3 were involved in 10. Based on radiography data, 3D pelvic model was rebuilt, and virtual surgery was simulated. Different fixation methods were applied according to residual bone volume. Parameters of the first sacral (S 1 ) vestibule, second sacral (S 2 ) vestibule, the narrowest zone of superior pubic medullary cavity (NPSPMC), and the resected surface of superior pubic medullary cavity (RSSPMC) were selectively measured in various fixation methods. Model overlapping, feature simplifying, and size controlling were three basic steps during design procedure. Volume proportion of porous structure was determined according to estimated weight of resected specimen. Acetabular location, anteversion, and inclination were modulated. Screw diameter, direction, and combination were considered. The osteotomy guides and plastic models were used during surgery.    Results  Of 13 cases, after P1 resection, endoprostheses were fixed to sacra (8; 61.5%), ilia (3; 23.1%), and both (2; 15.4%). After P3 resection, endoprostheses were fixed to residual acetabulum (3; 23.1%), and residual pubis by stem (8; 61.5%) or “cap-like” structure (2; 15.4%). Mean area of the S 1  vestibule, S 2  vestibule, RSSPMC, and PSPMC were 327.9 (222.2 to 400), 131.7 (102.6 to 163.6), 200.5 (103.8 to 333.2), and 79.8 mm 2  (40.4 to 126.2), respectively. Porous structure with 600 μm pore size and 70% porosity accounted for 68.8% (53.0 to 86.0) of the whole endoprosthesis on average. Mean acetabular anteversion and inclination were designed as 23.2° (20 to 25) and 42.4° (40 to 45). Median numbers of screws designed in the S 1  vestibule was 5 (IQR, 4 to 6), in the S2 vestibule was 1 (IQR, 1 to 2), in the ilium was 5 (IQR, 2 to 6), and in the pubis was 1 (IQR, 1 to 1), while screws designed in the ischium was all 2. Median number of screws inserted in the S 1  vestibule was 4 (IQR, 3 to 4), in the S 2  vestibule was 1 (IQR, 1 to 1), in the ilium was 3 (IQR, 1 to 5), in the pubis was 1 (IQR, 0 to 1), and in the ischium was 1 (IQR, 1 to 1).    Conclusions  This study firstly presents detailed design and related surgical techniques of 3D-printed custom-made hemipelvic endoprosthesis reconstruction. Osseointegration is critical for long-term outcome and requires three design elements including interface connection, porous structure, and initial stability achieved by precise matching and proper fixation methods.
